Why Tiesto was PERFECT for coachella...

Due to Tiesto playing his old boring tracks, playing producer's for which he gets paid for... BT actually mixed his last album, rumor has it. This makes him a fake ass dj playing shitty Electronic Dance Music. I know for this, a lot of you hate him...

Funny thing, Tiesto is the only dj who brings in A LOOOTTT of new blood. I have some friends who went to coachella just to see him for the first time, all were blown away. I've been representin since 2001 baby. It's fun to see friends roll, see tiesto and fall in love with EDM. It's a beautiful thing. They will eventually later fall in love with the real EDM and enjoy the real stuff that's out there, the stuff that 100,000 people dance to in Europe/Asia.

Personally I would have swaped Paul Van Dyk's (#1 DJ in the world) timeslot with Tiesto's, but the promoters of Coachella are smart. They know what's up... Although, next year, maybe you guys can give the DJ a way bigger timeslot. 1.5 hours for a EDM DJ is definitely not enough.

Daft Punk destroyed everyone in under 80 mins. Sorry, you lose.

Justice > Tiesto on Saturday hands down.

The one big positive about putting him on the main is that GV likes it that EDM can be on the main and draw a crowd. We will wait and see when DP returns(if ever) and will be a main stage headliner when they do.

Eh, I think Tiesto greatly exaggerates his musical ability. I mean seriously, what was with that self-congratulatory intro? But I didn't actually see him either! Dammit, I can't believe I didn't go to Coachella. I like MSTRKRFT more than Tiesto now.

Re: Why Tiesto was PERFECT for coachella...

Didn't like Tiesto going into the show, still not a fan of his after the show but during the show I had a great time up near the front. It was probably the substances but none the less I had a blast. Anyone have a recording of the set or at least that God Like Intro? Say hi to Sophia from Northern Cal for me if you see her.

Tiesto after the Chili Peppers was so disrespectful. I remember leaving the Mohave after the Black keys played and walking past the main stage hearing the techno, and shaking my head in anger and disappointment of how many more songs the Chili Peppers could have played if they weren't forced to squeeze it into an hour for some stupid DJ.
